File Sharing Welcome message greeting - can't get rid of it

A long time ago I had a Tiger server running and I had set it to display a welcome message, a greeting, upon any user connecting to a share point. At some point in time I had migrated over some preference settings into my now current standard Leopard workstation on my iMac C2D 2.4GHz. So now when I have file sharing active and I connect from another Mac in the house, I still get the Welcome message I had set up long ago. I cannot for the life of me figure out which preference file is responsible for this Welcome message that pops up when I connect to my iMac over my local network. Its a problem because I have other Macs on my network connecting for Time machine backups but they get hung up on the Welcome message which requires the other use to hit the OK button to move on. If no one is there then the OK button won't get pressed. Does anyone know how to get rid of this file sharing Welcome message

haha never mind, I found it using Cocktail, has a preference for greeting upon connections with file sharing.

Files are backed-up. Can I get rid of them on my computer?

Good afternoon. I recently purchased a OWC Mercury Elite Pro external hard drive. My intention is to store all video, music and photo files on this drive and keep only applications on my Powerbook G4. I understand that this will allow my Powerbook to run faster and more efficiently especially with video editting.
I have made a complete back-up already of the hard drive on my computer and it is on the external drive. Can I now go about removing all the music, video and photo files from my computer's hard drive? If so, what is the best way to go about this? Shall I just drag everything to the trash? Are there certain folders I don't want to get rid of? For example, in the Photos folder there is the iPhoto library. Can I just drag this into the trash? Will this effect any slide shows I have created?
Whew, that's a lot of questions. Thanks for any time and help you are willing to offer.
Cheers,

Open the NetInfo Manager in your /Applications/Utilities/ folder and change the location of your account's home folder so that it points to the external drive; the new location will look like /Volumes/external/path/to/folder/ with the second item being the name of the external drive. Don't delete or alter any other accounts, groups, or properties. Once you've moved your home folder, log out and back in, and verify that everything is working properly; if it continues to work properly for a few days, delete the original home folder. You will need to connect that external drive whenever you want to log in to your account.

My screen is frozen, have verifying document message and can't get rid of it

While adding some books I received a 'verifying document' message over the top of my library screen. I cannot get rid of it, the entire screen has frozen. I uninstalled and reinstalled, but it reinstalled the same. Help?

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Save messages. Can't get rid of them.

Every time I go to itunes the first thing that happens, that I know shouldn't be happening is, I get a warning " THE ITUNES MUSIC LIBRARY FILE CONNOT BE SAVED. YOU DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH ACCESS PRIVILEGES FOR THIS OPERATION" Then 245 out of the 2000 songs begin to be checked by itunes. In the itunes indicator window I get this " DETERMINING SONG VOLUME. ANALYZING 245: And I have to wait until that ends and that can take up to 2-3 min.
Also some of my songs (around 20 ) cannot be located by itunes. I used spotlight to find them and I thought everything was fine when I found them and replaced them in itunes, but when I closed itunes and re-opened it, they again had the excamation mark next to them. So I threw them away.
Any help out there, please?

I resolved it by going to all my music info. windows and making sure Owneship and Permissions are labeled
Owner: name
Access: Read and Write
Apperently they were all different for some reason. The moment I corrected them, everything fixed itself.
Thank you all for all the help.

"Other" is the measure of used space on the iPod not taken up by Audio, Video & Photos. This includes the iPod's library and artwork plus any files you may have copied to your iPod in disk mode. The overhead for the library & artwork data is typically 1-2% of the size of the media, e.g. for 1Gb of Audio & Video expect to have around 15mb of "Other". This information is needed for the iPod's operation and cannot be removed.
If you have significantly larger amounts of "Other", not related to files you've intentionally placed on the iPod, then these are probably disconnected copies of your media files or iPod libraries left over from failed sync operations. The only way to recover the space is to do a full restore.
If you have copies of all your media in your iTunes library this isn't a problem, but if you've been manually managing the content then you might need to try to recover the files from it first. See this post by forum regular Zevoneer on transferring files from the iPod to your computer. Some of the tools rely on the iPod having a healthy library however the manual method mentioned towards the end of the post should work regardless.

ClamXav detecting phishing email (can't get rid of them)

I received an email from my wife that she did not send me. It was an email that made no sense. It just had a bunch of words in a very long document. I assumed that her email program (Mac Mail) must have become infected with something that sent this email out to everyone in her address book. I deleted the email and downloaded ClamXav to check my system and make sure everything is ok.
Whenever I run ClamXav, it detects 8 files with the following infection name: (Heuristics.Phishing.Email.SpoofedDomain)
I ask ClamXav to quarantine the files, then I go into that folder and delete them. But if I run a check later, those 8 files are back. I can't get rid of them.
I'm wondering if they are reinfecting my Mac Mail program via Apple's mail servers. I'm not sure if all my mail messages are kept on Apple's server, and them somehow these malware files get re-downloaded to my computer. I tried to figure out if there is a setting in my mail program that allows me to uncheck a box that says, "save mail files on server".....but I can't find any such setting. I thought I remember seeing something like that in the past.
Does anyone have any idea what is causing my computer to be continuously reinfected and what I should do about it? I don't notice any problems with my computer, but obviously these files that I can't permanently delete has me worried.

First, I would encourage you to come to the ClamXav Forum to more quickly and efficiently answer questions such as this.
My standard guidance for handling reported e-mail infection is as follows (pay particular attention to #6):
Never use ClamXav (or any other A-V software) to move (quarantine) or delete e-mail. It will corrupt the mailbox index which could cause loss of other e-mail and other issues with functions such as searching. It may also leave the original e-mail on your ISP's e-mail server and will be re-downloaded to your hard drive the next time you check for new mail.
So, if you choose to "Scan e-mail content for malware and phishing" in the General Preferences, make sure you do not elect to either Quarantine or Delete infected files.
When possibly infected e-mail files are found:
Right-click/Control-click on either the infection or file name in the ClamXav window.
Select "Reveal In Finder" from the pop-up menu.
When the window opens, double-click on the file to open the message in your e-mail client application.
Read the message and if you agree that it is junk/spam/phishing then use the e-mail client's delete button to delete it (this is especially important when the word "Heuristics" appears in the infection name).
If you disagree and choose to retain the message, return to ClamXav and choose "Exclude From Future Scans" from the pop-up menu.
If this is a g-mail account and those messages continue to show up after you have deleted them in the above manner, you may need to log in to webmail using your browser, go to the "All Mail" folder, find the message(s) and use the delete button there to permanently delete them from the server.
To fix corrupted mailbox index(es), highlight each one that was corrupted and choose Rebuild from the appropriate menu.

How can I get rid of files that cannot be imported error message

Hello, this is my first post. I am a new mac user. I have imported my jpgs from an external hard drive which was in the most part successful, however, 14 of the files appear to be corrupted and every time I open iphoto9, I get the error message, '14 of your files could not be imported, would you like to import them now?' I have tried choosing both options yes and no and it then writes error message telling me it has created recovered photos folder. When you go to this folder it is empty and every time I restart iphoto, I get the same message. I have tried deleting all the files and re-importing only to find that the number of corrupted files has now doubled. I have also deleted the iphotos library recovered photo folders to no avail. I have tried creating a new library and importing the files to that but the same problem occurred. How can I get rid of this repeated error as I am now up to recovered folder number 47! Help!

Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
quit iPhoto and right click (control click) on the iPhoto library (in the pictures folder by default) and select the show package contents command - find the import (or importing) folder and drag it to the desktop and launch iPhoto - you should be fine now - open the import(ing) folder on your desktop and if there are any photos you want import them then trash the folder

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

Can't get rid of a TX - message keeps appearing and being processed by OSB

I have some sort of a poison message or TX I can't flush. Every 10 seconds I get a log message like the second one below, and the number of pending messages in multiple places and OSB proxy service messages processed keep climbing - all without producing any new messages on my part. I've tried deleting the default server store on the OSB managed server and the filestore for the JMS server. No luck.
When this first started happening, the error messages looked like the first one below. Something I did caused the change, I assume. However, it's the same TX ID throughout.
So, first, how can I get rid of this thing? It's driving me nuts and keeping me from closing out a POC.
Second, why is it happening? I have one suspicion - could it be because that somehow we configured mutiple domains with the same name for a distributed application? It's not my normal practice but it happened. These domains don't communicate directly, but there are domains that need to communicate with both. So I'm guessing the name ambiguity may be hurting us. Just a guess, though.
In this case, the sgosb domain's proxy service (this domain name is unique) is receiving messages from a queue resident in the pega_domain in Singapore and another proxy service is putting a message to another queue in the pega_domain in the UK. This is not in a single TX; the first proxy service forwards the message to a queue in the sgosb_domain, the second proxy service gets that message and puts it into the other pega_domain. It's an XA TX for each proxy service.
Just to make it more fun, the sgosb_domain has another proxy service reading from a different queue and forwarding it to a queue in the third pega_domain in the US.
TIA for any help or insight.
Oh yes, the OSB domain is WLS 10.3.4, while the pega_domains are WLS 10.3.2

Tom,
Thanks! Succinct and easy to understand as ever.
Yup, that covers it - I had also just seen this in the docs after looking at atheek1's earlier response (thanks to him/her as well). It's covered almost as clearly there as you state it here (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11035_01/wls100/jta/trxcon.html).
While the ESB domains meet all of those requirements (except for cross-domain security configuration), each of the other two sets of domains (3 in each set) do not meet the naming uniqueness criteria for domain and server names; they do for JMS server names. I saw the store names in the TX identifier string as included resource, and assumed they might play a part - that's why I changed them. As you say, an unnecessary change. Oh well - it was an easy one.
My normal practice has been for unique names in the past, due to problems I had years ago with cross-domain JMS traffic in an earlier WLS version. I guess it's the wrong time to have forgotten that lesson.
Does anyone know of a quick way of changing a domain name quickly without rebuilding the domain? In the past WLST resulted in incomplete copies for me, is that still a problem? Server names are easy, just some global search-and-replace in the config.xml file (and in the management scripts, too)

In Mail, one mailbox for Recovered Message (AOL) keeps showing 1 very large message that I cannot delete. How can I get rid of this recurring problem, please?

In Mail on iMac, successfully running OS X Lion, one mailbox on My Mac for "Recovered Messages (from AOL)" keeps showing 1 very large message (more than 20 Mb) that I just cannot seem to delete. Each time I go into my In Box, the "loading" symbol spins and the message appears in the "Recovered Messages" mailbox. How can I get rid of this recurrent file, please?
At the same time, I'm not receviving any new mails in my In Box, although, if I look at the same account on my MacBook Pro, I can indeed see the incoming mails (but on that machine I do not have the "recovery" problem).
The help of a clear-thinking Apple fan would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.
From Ian in Paris, France

I worked it out.
Unhide your hidden files ( I used a widget from http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/developer/hiddenfiles.html)
Go to your HD.
Go to Users.
Go to your House (home)
there should be a hidden Library folder there (it will be transparent)
Go to Mail in this folder
The next folder ( for me ) is V2
Click on that and the next one will be a whole list of your mail servers, and one folder called Mailboxes
Click on that and there should be a folder called recovered messages (server) . mbox
Click on that there a random numbered/lettered folder -> data
In that data folder is a list of random numbered folders (i.e a folder called 2, one called 9 etc) and in EACH of these, another numbered folder, and then a folder called messages.
In the messages folder delete all of the ebmx (I think that's what they were from memory, sorry I forgot as I already deleted my trash after my golden moment).
This was GOLDEN for me. Reason being, when I went to delete my "recovered file" in mail, it would give me an error message " cannot delete 2500 files". I knew it was only 1 file so this was weird. Why 2500 files? Because if you click on the ebmx files like I did, hey presto, it turned out that they were ALL THE SAME MESSAGE = 2500 times. In each of those folders in the random numbers, in their related message folder.
Now remember - DONT delete the folder, make sure you have gone to the message folder, found all those pesky ebmx files and deleted THOSE, not the folder.
It worked for me. No restarting or anything. And recovered file. GONE.
Started receiving and syncing mail again. Woohoo.
Best wishes.
